Poverty and Africa
Saturday, March 4, 2006I’m going to be brutally honest, today. I’ll begin by saying the situation in Africa sucks. The world has, for the most part, ignored the entire continent. Well, except maybe for South Africa. I hear they have diamonds…
Matisyahu Video
Saturday, March 4, 2006If you’ve never heard the reggae style of hasidic rapper Matisyahu, you’re missing out. Here’s his latest music video. Very cool!
Savings Accounts
